The Martial Unity

"He was going find out anyway eventually... But his blame would have fallen on the Martial Union ordinarily. But now that he seems to understand there is more to this than meets the eye, the blame will likely fall on us when the time comes." He sighed. "It's inconvenient that he is so sharp."

They discussed the matter to a greater extent. Rui on the other hand thought about the matter by himself.

('At the very least, I can be certain it's not malicious.') Rui nodded. It would violate the terms of the contract and would be interpreted as an open declaration of war against the Kandrian Martial Union. A team of Martial Squires would be immediately dispatched and the entirety of the Zurtun rebel group would be massacred indiscriminately.

Despite all the deception at hand, the rebel group was fundamentally driven to claim back their homeland and return back to their families. There was no mistaking this. This meant that whatever deception was going on at hand likely was not malicious against him, but more so exploitative in nature.

('Seeing how shrewd that cunning old fox is, I bet it's technically not a violation of the contract either.') Rui sighed. He didn't think the old man would do anything that could be proven to violate the contract since that would invite a severe penalty from the Martial Union.

('It's also something he can't reveal without giving me legitimate grounds and incentives to call off the mission in a justified manner according to the contracts.')

If whatever he was hiding, which had to pertain to the true reason for the mission, was benign and harmless, then Fushin would have revealed it to Rui. It would have even been mentioned in the contract. But clearly revealing it was problematic, thus it was being hidden.

That gave Rui further clues.

The coordinated offensive power of ten Martial Apprentices would make short work of the fort walls in a reasonably short period of time. Once the fort wall was penetrated, the army could quickly swarm inside and the Hlorn weapon would be rendered useless. It couldn't be used inside the fort, it would cause too
